Someone brought up a good question during a discussion a few days ago that prompted me to wonder how such a search could be constructed in Logos.

How would you recommend searching for instances in which Jesus was the speaker and he spoke a pejorative to another party?

For example, Matthew 23.

    "Pejorative" may be too ill-defined to make a good search. But my approach would be to right click the example verse, look at the tagging and experiment.

    longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Evaluation" IN speaker:Jesus is manageable (42 verses), although some of them are positive and Luke 18:12 is somebody assessing themselves in a parable.

    propositionalOutline:Miseritude IN speaker:Jesus gives 29 results in 25 verses (all woes).

    literaryTyping:"Disputation" IN speaker:Jesus gives 20 results, all in Matthew 23. 

    Probably, I would combine several searches like this in a passage list and manually remove the false positives.

    literaryTyping:"Disputation" IN speaker:Jesus gives 20 results, all in Matthew 23. 

    speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS literaryTyping:"Disputation"   gives more results and you don't have to decide what term fully contains the other.

    From right-click in Mt 23.4:

    •  speaker:Jesus  INTERSECTS culture:Hypocrisy    - results from Mt to Lk, many in Mt 23
    •  speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS event:"Jesus condemns the religious leaders"   - not as many as above, but interesting

    Thanks all! These are helpful.

    I also tried connecting with louwNida:88.105-237 which appear to be all negative traits.
